About Alpine Waste & Recycling

Founded in 1999, Alpine Waste & Recycling is the largest privately held commercial waste and recycling collection company in the Denver area. Named one of the top 25 fastest growing Colorado companies every year between 2003-2006, Alpine has parlayed a customer-service focus into a compound annual revenue growth rate of greater than 40 percent. By 2006, Alpine had a customer base of nearly 2,000.

From its beginnings as a single-truck operation called Alpine Disposal serving Aurora, Colo., Alpine has grown to a company of more than 30 trucks and more than 50 employees. The fleet consists of rear-end load trucks, front-end load trucks, roll-off waste trucks, dedicated mobile service trucks, a container delivery truck and trailers. Alpine hauls nearly 100,000 tons of waste per year.

Some of Alpine’s customers include Whole Foods, Wild Oats and CB Richard Ellis. Alpine focuses its business on commercial accounts; however, Alpine’s largest customer accounts for only 2.5 percent of revenues. The company recently changed its name to Alpine Waste & Recycling from Alpine Waste Solutions.

Alpine has established a fiercely loyal customer base by providing a high level of service in the field. An extensive maintenance program for its rolling stock translates into dependable equipment and reliable service. Alpine puts a GPS tracking device and digital camera in each of its service vehicles, allowing the company to maintain accurate records of customer service activities and communicate effectively with its customers. The Better Business Bureau has recognized Alpine with its highest mark of distinction, the Gold Star Award, in four straight years beginning in 2003. The award goes to companies against which no complaints were registered during the year.
